Beijing**Client|Reporter Qiu Wei.
Since its launch, the show has monopolized the hot search topics of film and television with wave after wave of attention: from the main creative lineup, script story to costume design, lens scheduling, photography skills, and even to the ** explanation of Shanghainese dialect and the ......economic background of the 90s of the last centuryThe phenomenal sensational effect caused by Wong Kar-wai's first TV series was unexpected. Analyzing the reasons, it is not difficult to find that the retro and gorgeous atmosphere in the play, the finely polished script lines, and the value concept of "love and righteousness are priceless" in the business world make the audience fascinated the most, and these seemingly "anti-trend" traditions are precisely the spiritual core that can resonate with generations of Chinese people.
Flowers" ended with fans who couldn't be relieved.
Go to the attic alone, preferably at night", *Flowers" begins with the sadness of the ending of the world. The drama version of "Flowers" makes full use of the narrative space of long episodes to structure this story of suppressed desire. The plot shows the process of the development and rise of China's big cities centered on Shanghai from the late 80s to the early 90s of the last century: from scratch, individuals going to the sea to do business, and the foreign trade industry from strict control to gradual liberalization......
In the play, the protagonist Ah Bao said: "It was an era when I felt that I could fly at any time. Director Wong Kar-wai focused on the most representative Yellow River Road in Shanghai during this period, showing the ups and downs of people in the torrent of the times.
In addition to the vivid character creation and climactic story line, what always affects the audience is the spiritual thread of "credit first, love is priceless" that runs through the series. Following his uncle into the rolling Huangpu River, Ah Bao became the mighty Mr. Bao, and at the end of the plot, Mr. Bao changed back to Po, and what flowed in his heart was always Suzhou Creek.
In the finale of "Flowers", Lingzi went to Hong Kong to start a career, Li Li became a monk after completing "revenge", and Miss Wang returned to the Yellow River Road. **Narrowly won, Mr. Bao is generously out, and the journey of the tide seems to be over, but a more vigorous era will come. Each character in the play says goodbye to the old days and walks towards his own life, which seems lonely but also the best ending.
It can be said that how noisy the beginning of "Flowers" is, how lonely the ending is, how exaggerated the story is at first glance, and how deep the background is, so that the plot enters the end, the characters exit one by one, and the loneliness of the prosperity makes the hearts of fans of the drama empty, and they have even begun to miss the noise at the beginning of the series.
Both the lead and supporting performances shine brightly.
There is no shortage of business war plots in "Flowers", but Wong Kar-wai is known for filming literary and artistic love, and the sharp increase in the reputation and popularity of this drama actually occurred in the emotional entanglement between Po and Lingzi, Miss Wang, and Li Li in the story. Most of the most talked about plots by the audience come from these ambiguous episodes that depict the feelings of men and women, as well as the difficulty of asking for and parting.
The performances of several leading actors are particularly remarkable. As the soul of the whole play, the character of Po must not only be "silent", but also accurately grasp the sense of proportion between each character, which is extremely difficult to interpret, and Hu Ge's temperament and demeanor are praised by Hong Kong director Wang Jing to make people think of "Chow Yun-fat in his heyday". The proprietress Reiko represents the spirit of the gang, and Ma Yili uses moving performance moments to restore the "small work pleasure" of a Shanghai woman, as well as the strong personality shown after admitting self-deception. Tang Yan has not taken on other plays for Miss Wang for three years, she is almost the most significant progress, from Miss Wang, who is pure-hearted and affectionate, to Mr. Wang, who "becomes her own dock", Tang Yan has performed the confidence of a Shanghai woman. Li Li played by Xin Zhilei completely let people understand Wong Kar-wai's lens aesthetics, and the more they get to the end, the more memorable Li Li's characteristics of being cold on the outside and loyal to the liver and brave on the inside.
The supporting characters in the play are equally glorious. Uncle appeared on the stage, and actor You Benchang conveyed the rise and fall of a financial old mage on the bank of the Huangpu River with a few eyes. Mr. Fan of Hangzhou Garment Factory broke into the beach, humble and humble when he first arrived on Huanghe Road, and became more and more calm as the brand started. As one of the signboards on the Yellow River Road, Jin Meilin's proprietress lady, Fan Xiangyan used the performance of "Wow Wow Wow Wow" to interpret a strong and capable market businessman, when she was quite unreasonable and provocative, the audience hated her for being unreasonable;When she slapped Mr. Bao and turned her head to see her uncompetitive husband in tears, it made people empathize again. There is also Tao Tao subversively starred by Chen Long, who is righteous and lustful, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and ridiculed with Linghong and Teacher Ge, which gives "Night Tokyo" a taste of "home". "Flowers" has brought together many celebrities in Shanghai-speaking areas, regardless of whether the scene is heavy or not, and no matter how many lines there are, there are countless impressive characters in the play, and even football celebrity Fan Zhiyi has also come out of the circle with a cameo.
Director Wong Kar-wai gave everyone a master class, allowing TV viewers to see the Rembrandt-style lighting of three-point and seven-point shading, as well as the unique vision of turning stones into gold in casting. The irreproducible "ten years of sharpening a sword" in "Flowers" was finally cast into an artistic piece.
"Human affection" is the flesh and blood that runs through the whole play.
If the face of "Flowers" is the great era swept by the tide of commerce, then there are only two words in the story: love. Times change, unlimited business opportunities, although everyone wants to soar to the sky, but the vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of heroes, and the real sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes still value love and righteousness.
In the play, the uncle said, "Doing business is a rational thing, and it must be dealt with rationally, and if you can't get over it in your heart, it is an emotional problem, and it must be dealt with with emotionally, the Huangpu River is the Huangpu River, and the Suzhou Creek is the Suzhou River." In a TV series with the theme of business war, it is better to tell the story of love than Jin Jian, not only is it not a fool's dream, but it makes the characters consistent and flesh and blood.
When Bao and Miss Wang met in Weiwei, they achieved a "revolutionary friendship" all the way, Miss Wang could drive desperately to rescue Bao who was in danger alone, and Bao also braved the world's condemnation to hand over the foreign trade order to Miss Wang, who had become a competitor. Li Li first came to make enemies in the Yellow River Road, Ah Bao kindly reminded, Li Li gave back a high-imitation foreign trade T-shirt as a thank you, and then the two sympathized with each other and helped each other save the day several times. Reiko and Po met in the streets of Tokyo, and a good luck charm allowed Po to return Reiko's family to Tokyo at night, and the borrowing and repayment of "Luck" was ...... wonderful plot settingSuch echoes are intertwined with the pricelessness of affection.
One of the key reasons why "Flowers" is different from other works is that Wong Kar-wai fully demonstrates the emotional part of human nature, and the seemingly untraditional theme of "love and righteousness" allows the audience to experience the long-lost human touch and warmth. Many people say that Wong Kar-wai's filming of "Flowers" is a new story with the name and characters of **. The original work as Shanghainese**, from the span of decades, with food and women to reflect the changes of the times, the author Jin Yucheng once said when talking about the original intention of creation, he is looking for and gaining strength in many traditional cultures, **Flowers" is also regarded by the industry as a representative work of root-seeking literature. In this sense, the TV series "Flowers", which returns to tradition in terms of values, is the same as **, and several generations of audiences have realized the recognition of traditional values in the same work, which also constitutes a collective reminiscence and imagination of people's "human feelings" in the Internet era.
